Scralian: Cyberpunk Contest Entry

Description from original post (created 2012-11-05 19:29):

1000 years ago, the world of Scralis was a peaceful, swampy refuge from the technologically obsessed rest of the universe. But time continues on, as always. Scralis became electronically absorbed by outsiders, and the Scralians were forced to adapt or leave. (of course, there was nowhere else they could go, but that's not the point.) Most couldn't make it in the silicrete jungle, but those who did became practically cyborgs, requiring more technology than biology to keep them alive. When the outsiders realized that the Scralians could easily be manipulated through their inorganic half, they began to enslave them. The have been forced to fuel Scralis' fire for 10000 years, but have always had plans of rebellion.

Of course... overthrowing the very thing that keeps you alive is impossible... such a paradox.

Hope You Enjoy! This is my first attempt at shading, BTW. :D
